![]() In the mid-2000's, Detective Lopez endured a couple of setbacks in regards to her personal health. She would begin to refer to these women as "her girls," and she would become protective over them during her lengthy career in law enforcement. These were primarily sex workers, who were caught in a vicious cycle of dependency issues and addiction, who - more often than not - were looking for a way out.ĭetective Lopez didn't view these women's lives as any less than her own, and this allowed her to view them as not only statistics or useful informants, but people in their own right. It highlighted what kind of dangers were faced by women not too different from herself, who had faced a different set of challenges and might not have been so lucky with their lot in life. This was an area that often conflicted with Detective Lopez's own religious beliefs - as she had been raised devoutly Catholic - but it really widened her eyes to the realities of this world. a neighborhood of housing projects, heroin and sex shops near the University of New Mexico." a loose-jointed carnival of sex, drugs and booze."Īnd a generation later - in 2009 - the New York Times followed up with a similar critique, calling it: In 1991, the Albuquerque Journal described "The War Zone" as: But for Albuquerque, this part of town has long been a blight that needs correcting. This was the part of the city that people have long tried to avoid, if possible, and I know that many of us can sympathize: pretty much every city or town has a place similar to "The War Zone" (which has been renamed the "International District in recent years, as part of a concerted effort to boost the area's image). Ida's work often took her into an area of Albuquerque known as "The War Zone": a high crime area near Albuquerque's Central Avenue. Shortly thereafter, she started working for the Albuquerque Police Department as a uniformed officer, and - over a long and storied career - would become a detective. She attended college, and then enrolled in the police academy, hoping to achieve some good in the world. Ida Lopez grew up in the Albuquerque region of New Mexico, and was inspired by her grandfather at an early age to become a police officer. ![]()

![]() ![]() If you have determined your bullet will drop say 3inches, you will need to hold over the crosshairs of the reticule 3 inches high to hit your target dead on.įirstly, to get proficient at shooting accurately at a distance your rifle is not zeroed for, takes a lot of practice. 'Hold over is the adjustment made by the stalker when they are shooting at a range that they are not zeroed for without adjusting the rifle’s scope'.įor example, you have a 100 yard zero and you need to take a shot at 175 yards. Holdover and Maximum Point blank range (MPBR)? This is where our discussion turns to holdover and point blank range. It is much harder to get close to the deer and this in turn requires being able to accurately shoot at greater distances. Shooting in large open fields or on the hill in Scotland, presents a different challenge. However, stalking within woodland is not for everyone and many prefer to wait until the deer break from the undergrowth and venture out to feed in the open. Stalking in woodland usually means fairly close shots from 50 – 100 yards. This article goes on to explain the reasons why.įor the dedicated woodland stalker, a 100 yard zero does the job. However, many readers may be surprised to know, that most stalkers don’t leave the zero at 100 yards, they adjust it. When setting the zero on a rifle, the 100 yard zero is pretty much universally accepted as convenient (you don’t have to walk too far to setup, view and retrieve etc.) and accurate enough for shooting at longer ranges. I have come to realise, having talked to a good number of my clients, that they take for granted all rifles are zeroed at 100 yards and there is good reason for people to think this. (The above diagram illustrates the true meaning of 'Point Blank') It’s the first thing I would want to know!Īs many of you know, things can happen very quickly on a stalk and when faced with a rangier shot on a deer and sometimes only seconds to react, that is not the time to debate whether you should aim straight on or hold over x amount! ![]() Obviously our clients range from absolute beginners to advanced stalkers, but it puzzles me in particular why the more experienced one’s don’t think to ask. ![]() It has recently occurred to me that not one of my clients has ever asked me at what distance our estate rifle is zeroed. James Mott discusses at what range you should zero your rifle and the meaning of ‘hold over’ and ‘point blank’. At what range should you zero your rifle?

Topaz is the traditional birthstone for November. Hence, whilst other colors comes cheap, pink topaz is one of the most expensive of pink gemstones, with prices of up to $2,500 a carat. Pink gems come from the variety of topaz called imperial topaz. Though most popular in yellow, orange and blue, topaz also occurs as pink stones. Source: Rob Lavinsky, – CC-BY-SA-3.0 Pink Topaz The pink stone is now also mined in Burma. Discovered in 1987 in Quebec, Canada, the pink gem was named after the Poudretteite family, who operated a quarry in the area where the gemstone was first found. The price of this very rare pink jewel can be as high as $3,000 per carat. Poudretteite is one of the most expensive pink gemstones in the world on account of its rarity. Beside Taurus, sapphire is also associated with the zodiac signs Sagittarius and Pisces. Though traditionally the birthstone of April, sapphire in general is the modern birthstone for September. Sapphire also comes in a rare orange-pink variety called padparadscha, as well as star sapphires, which display six-rayed asterism. Still, the value of pink sapphire lies in its resemblance to ruby hence, the closer the pink is to the red of ruby, the higher the value of pink sapphire. In fact, corundum that is a shade less red than ruby is immediately called sapphire, that is to say, pink sapphire, which is the second most expensive of pink gemstones. Sapphire is corundum that comes in all colors but red, otherwise known as ruby. Though most popular in blue, sapphire also produces pink precious stones. ![]() ![]() ![]() Vitamix Household blenders and accessories come in a variety of styles and sizes, ensuring there’s a machine that fits every lifestyle.

That being said, the option will likely become a sought-after feature, as many car enthusiasts enjoy the traditional way of parking their cars.The HBA1224 improves vehicle safety as it: What does the future hold for the manual handbrake? As its demise continues, we can expect it to "go extinct" soon. Moreover, it takes up less space in the car's interior and can be used as a hill hold function, preventing the vehicle from rolling on a sloped surface. This is an increasingly common system in cars, which makes it more convenient for the driver to operate it. It also doesn't need to be adjusted over time. The electric parking brake or EPB consists of the actuation of a button (instead of a lever) which, through an electrical signal sent by the control unit, activates a mechanism, locking the car’s brakes. The electronic parking brake also has its advantages – it requires less effort to operate, and most systems will disengage once you start moving or engage as soon as you switch off the car. ![]() They also provide more control of the car once mastered, and you can also use them to engage a power slide (if you're into that). They offer a more tactile feel and, of course, that specific noise when you pull them up. Manual handbrakes are less expensive to repair than electronic ones if they do break. As soon as you press it, a pair of small motors are activated, and they cause the rear brake pads to clamp or release the brakes.

As the cable stretches and the brake pads wear, you might need to adjust the parking brake to keep it at maximum efficiency.Įlectronic parking brakes use a switch instead of a mechanical lever. HandBrake 1.0.01.0.7 This article is part of the HandBrake Documentation and was written by Bradley Sepos (BradleyS). When you pull the lever, the piston is operated by a physical cable running from the rear brakes to the handbrake. This is done by a piston within the brake calipers that pushes the brake pad into the brake disc. Even though you might think it's much more basic than the electronic equivalent, the lever-operated one works similarly it clamps the brakes on a car's rear axle to stop the wheels from moving. Let me tell you more about how each system works - I'll start with the manual handbrake. It was always likely that the expected 2030 ban in sales of new petrol and diesel cars would spell the end of the manual handbrake – the question now is whether it can even last until then." Chris Knapman, an editor at CarGurus UK and the author of the Manual Handbrake Report, said, "Since 2018, we have seen a fall of 24% in the number of new cars being fitted with a manual handbrake. ![]() ![]() ![]() If I honestly had every single playset, I would proudly present them in this article. The whole point here is to reminisce.īefore I get this article going I'd like to thank these websites for the information and pictures. It's not so bad if you just read my bullets and look at the pictures. And I'll apologize right now for the length of the article. Though, I'll do my best to bring in the best pictures I can find and give you some of the key components of each. You don't have to agree with me and I will completely understand that. Think of it as a review using my opinions and thoughts. I plan on giving a short critique of each one of the playsets, as well as some memories of them. Hence, my close observations for just the Doom Zones in this article. Not much to play with in a small play area. I didn't play with these as much because they were basically just the head (case), a single monster, and a small Max figurine. These were generally much smaller than the Doom Zone heads. To go along with this line, sets such as the Horror Heads, Monster Heads, Dread Heads, and Shrunken Heads were produced. These were the most popular of all the "head" toys from the franchise. This article is an attempt as a resource for these toys, more specifically the Doom Zones Mighty Max toy line. Needless to say, I started collecting these toys right away. We were on our way to her job for take-your-son-to-work day, so she agreed because she knew it would occupy me for the rest of the day. ![]() I begged and pleaded my mom to purchase it. I grabbed the most intriguing of the playsets I found, Wolfship 7. I knew nothing of the franchise, but it didn't take much to persuade my impressionable mind. We also get the return of the Skull Master figure from the Double-Demon figure set - he can wield his menacing staff when it isn’t being fired from his big blue howitzer.I was hooked from this very moment. It sports a lot of silly, cartoonish decals - one more sign of Bluebird’s growing disinterest in the toy line - but there’s tons of great stuff to make up for it. Many a kid probably enjoyed busting this evil bastard’s face open. This set’s connection to the cartoon is obvious from the get-go: it’s made in the striking image of Max’s nemesis, the titular Skull Master. That has finally been remedied, so the collector in me can finally sleep well at night. I have no idea what the deal is with Series 3’s wishy-washy US distribution, but it’s a shame it kept me from getting the entire playset collection for twenty years. Some states didn’t get anything from Series 3 apparently. The Beetlebrow and Freako horror heads, like the Geela Guts doom zone of Series 3, were readily available all over the UK, but only select areas in the US for whatever reason. It’s also the only doom zone with a black Mighty Max logo, instead of the usual red. ![]() I only got it because, at the time, I was a completist. Where the designs are cool, the substance is…lacking.ĬYBERSKULL is too abstract for my tastes: it plunges Max into the belly of his own computer (just like the elusive Geela Guts doom zone, which plunges him into the belly of his pet iguana), so the interior is an amalgamation of computer parts and electronic miscellany. There are a few golden moments here, but despite the unchained creativity in the playset compositions, it was at this point I realized Max wouldn’t see a fourth adventure. On the plus side, the designers went all-out with the playset layouts: almost every one of them is a complex puzzle box of moving parts and odd configurations, from the vertically splitting Nautilus to the bagel-shaped Geela Guts. Here the bulk of Max’s adventures draws to a close as we finally round out the Doom Zone collection. ![]() ![]() ![]() The local buzzer audibly attracts the operator’s attention during status change occurrences.
